NHL Power Rankings: Nov. 22, 2013

By: Stephen London,November 22, 2013

As the 24-game mark in the NHL approaches, some teams seem poised on making some noise this season, while others have started to erase a stagnant start to the year. The New Jersey Devils (9-8-5) were 24th in the Nov. 15 power rankings, but have won three straight and are right on the heels of the Washington Capitals (12-9-1), who are in the second place in the Metropolitan Division.

The Capitals, who are two points ahead of the Devils in the division, are 7-2-1 during their last 10 games. Also doing well in the Eastern Conference are the Boston Bruins (14-6-2), who have taken the lead of the Atlantic Division away from the Tampa Bay Lightning (14-8-0).

Conversely in the Eastern Conference, the New York Islanders (8-11-3) have been slipping since trading away Matt Moulson. Losing six out of their last 10 regulation games, the Islanders have a road record of 3-7-0.

Like the Islanders, the Carolina Hurricanes (8-10-4) are struggling to string together wins and have lost three straight, and have a goal differential of -20. The Ottawa Senators (8-10-4) have also lost three straight, and now have a losing record and a negative goal differential (-8) for the season.

In the Western Conference, there are more teams with 30-plus points. The Minnesota Wild (14-5-4) have been red-hot of late, having a record of 8-1-1 during their last 10 games. The St. Louis Blues are also keeping their winning ways going, with a goal differential of +24 and a 7-2-1 record during their last 10 games. The Edmonton Oilers (7-15-2) have won three straight, despite being the last-place team in the Western Conference.

The Calgary Flames (7-11-4) have lost eight of their last 10 games (two overtime losses). The Vancouver Canucks (11-8-4) have been slowing off lately. The team has a record of 3-4-3 during its last 10 games, and a home record of 4-4-2. The Pacific Division leaders, the San Jose Sharks (14-3-5), have lost four of their last 10 in overtime (4-2-4 during their last 10).
